McGregor reveals skin cancer scare
22/04/2008 - 16:00:45Ewan McGregor had a cancerous mole removed after it was discovered in a check-up, the actor revealed today.
The Hollywood Star, 37, said he had to be careful about his pale skin because he spent so much time in the sun.
McGregor told 'BBC Breakfast' of the recent scare: “I had a little skin cancer under my eye.
“I just went to have them (the moles) checked. You have to be careful if you’re pale-skinned and spend time in the sun with moles.
“So I went to see a specialist who thought they were better to be removed and indeed he was correct.”
The Scottish actor said: “It’s all good now. But it was something that was best to be looked at and kept in check.”
'Star Wars' and 'Trainspotting' star McGregor, a married father-of-three, plays a Wall Street accountant in his new erotic thriller Deception.
McGregor, who is well known for having stripped off in many of his movies, has said of the multiple sex scenes in the film: “They’re interesting. I’ve done a lot of them. I try to find something about them that is realistic.”
